I have a friend who who’s come to me interested in organizing his workplace, I’ve given him a lot of advice, plugged him in with some experienced people and also sent him some articles online.

He’s a really big fan of podcast though, so I’ve been trying to find some podcast or YouTube videos to send him, but I don’t really know of any.

Was hoping I could get some recommendations on what I could send him

I retired as a teamster truck driver and took a part-time job driving a tri axle for a contractor. We agreed to $30 an hour. I thought this guy just did work for private individuals and residences or businesses.

Well, I started driving the truck for him and he’s having me haul into and haul out of government funded jobs like municipal Park restorations where he is the general contractor. The workers on the job site are getting prevailing wage.

There are specific rules for truck drivers to be eligible for prevailing wage on these kinds of jobs. I work for the general contractor driving his truck. I’m bringing in gravel and topsoil from supply yards and taking out waste material like concrete asphalt to dump areas.

I did not work in the construction area of truck driving before this. Located in Pennsylvania.

Am I eligible?
